A.D. 66-70 1st Jewish Revolt Year 2&3

In A.D. 66, Jewish rebels drove the Romans from Jerusalem, beginning the Jewish Revolt. Surprised, Rome quickly responded by sending the skillful general Vespasian to stamp out the rebellion - little did they know the revolt would last five years! Rejoicing at their freedom, the rebels struck their own coins. Both the year 2 and 3 bronzes display an amphora on the obverse, used for sacred temple offerings, and vine leaves on the reverse.
